Populate date field using javascript

Written by Paulo Vale on Thursday, November 15, 2007

In some date fields it's useful to have a quick link to populate with, for instance, todays date. See it here.

To accomplish that, first you can attach this javascript code to you page template.


Then you just need to add html code to call the function. The best place to put the code is in my opinion, the "Post element text" region of the field.


Now you can play around changing the date format and adding entries to days, weeks or months.

    Hi
    how would you populate the end date if say you select the start date and then have a duration selection list e.g select 12 months and the end date is auto populated once the 12 months is selected?
